2009 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to airbag indicator light illuminated. *smd
the consumer stated the dealer did not offer a satisfying explanation. *jb

My 2009 honda accord has a grinding noise that occurs when the ignition is activated from a cold start. The noise lasts for approximately two seconds and sounds like the timing belt system is ratcheting into place. This only occurs on a cold start, meaning the engine has not been running for 4 or more hours. I have had this problem for over a year. An internet search located honda service bulletin 09-010 dated 08/17/10 and then updated on 10/21/11. The safety bulletin describes the variable valve timing control (vtc) actuator as being, "defective". Additional internet search identified that th… Read complete

4 lights- vsa-eps-abs-brake lights will come on all at the same time. They will all go out all at once also but you never know when they will come on or off. The car dirves fine with no problems.

I have a 2014 honda accord exl sedan. My dash looks like a Christmas tree. First the LDW, FCW, ABS, VSA lights all came in now the TPMS light the light for the steering wheel with exclamation point is on and brake light. I thought it was wheel speed sensors as it corrected it once but they are all on ..anyone else have this issue

After the vehicle has been parked for a while the transmission will not engage properly. It happens in both reverse and drive. When i put my foot on the accelerator the engine revs really high (4,000 to 5,000 rpm) but the car barely moves at all. The problem goes away after about 20 - 30 seconds even after shifting gears from reverse to drive. The problem seems pretty random (i.e. It doesn't happen all the time), but i have figured out a way to make it happen more frequently. If the car is parked on an angle such as the driver side lower than the passenger side such as in sloped parking lot, o… Read complete

The front seating is so uncomfortable that is causes back and neck pain, and i fear if the car was involved in an accident the head rest, which is pointed so far forward as to cause neck pain if the person uses the seat in a straighter position. The lumbar support causes me back pain because i cannot adjust it out. It hits me in a bad place in the back and causes back pain. I am an average height male (5'11").

This is an intermittent recurring issue with the vehicle. When making a slow speed turn, typically accelerating from a traffic light or stop sign, the engine will not respond to the accelerator being depressed. This occurs if i have to lift off of the accelerator and reapply pressure, due to traffic slowing around turns or other driving conditions that necessitate lifting off of the gas pedal and then stepping on it the problem has not happened when going straight, only on turns. There have been times where this has proven to be unnerving and potentially dangerous as there were vehicles approa… Read complete

This is the fourth time that i have brought my vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. I finally got my car inspected a third time after contacting honda corporate. The steering wheel had to be reset. However, the vehicle still does not drive straight. After an alignment and the steering wheel reset, the vehicle still pulls to the right. I have contacted honda corporate and they are really useless. Their motto "helpful honda" is the biggest load hot air ever. They are having someone from honda corporate come to inspect the car now. But they refuse to work with me to take the car back, even thou… Read complete

The SRS light was initially intermittently faulty and could be reset. Got sick of taking it to the dealer and having them reset it and tell me it was now OK. Found a successful home reset procedure which worked several times but the light has now come on steady. When using the reset procedure the SRS light gives the final two blinks to indicate a successful reset , but the light now stays steady on.
I have just removed and tested the drivers seat belt microswitch as instructed on a You Tube video but that tested all OK...seat belt unplugged closed(NC) seatbelt plugged in open (NO). Looking at the seat pressure sensors now , but don't get any change in status at the plug when testing with someone seated / unseated.

My remote control works on the system but when you push the button twice the doors lock but no siren and the light's flash when you push the button twice the horn doesn't beep

2013 honda accord sport has had its trunk open by itself on multiple occasions. The trunk has never opened on it own while in motion but when it is parked. It is only discovered when i walk back to the car and see the trunk cracked open. This is a security/safety breach in my case as i sometimes will keep firearms in the security of the trunk leading to the potential of stolen firearms from an open trunk. I have not been able to determine the cause of the trunk randomly opening. This has happened to me at least 3 times throughout the ownership of the car.

Within 2 weeks of purchasing a new honda i experienced a 2 to 3 second hesitation problem when trying to accelerate from low speeds. The first time it happened i was on a green light turning left, so i had to yield to oncoming traffic. I had slowed down to about 3 or 4 mph but tried to accelerate once the way was clear only to find that i had no power! i then pressed the accelerator all the way to the floor but nothing happened. It was almost as if the car had stalled. Just as i was about to try and restart the car it kicked in and i surged ahead just seconds before being hit head on. The same… Read complete

Every time you press accelerator after a stop, the power door locks click and will keep locking/unlocking the doors while driving. This could be dangerous with kids in the car. Plus it is very annoying while driving. Just purchased this vehicle one day ago. I have read where many honda accord owners are experiencing the same problem.

Power door locks did not operate for car doors or trunk via the remote key fob. The key would not manually unlock the car doors. There is no manual key access for the trunk. *tr

Dear sir or madam, i would like to lodge a complaint against the current headrests in the 2014 honda accord (and many similar sedans. ) i am 5 foot 3 and can't sit in the seat for more than 10 minutes without experiencing neck pain. The headrest angle is too far forward and does not align with my spine. It pushes my head forward. It becomes very painful over time, and no seat adjustment can make it better. Honda and other ar companies tell me that the nhtsa requires that the install headrests at this angle to achieve the highest safety rating. But what good is that if the driver and passen… Read complete

While driving alone into a marked space in a public parking lot, my foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator. The vehicle then accelerated into the concrete base of a light pole. Immediately, the vehicle bumper crumpled, the left side of the hood crumpled, and the passenger side air bag activated. There was no one except myself in the vehicle and the driver side airbag did not activate. At this date, november 10, i have no idea how much damage was done to the vehicle. *tr

A few months ago I had several lights come on: ABS , power steering, brake, and tire pressure. After taking it to a shop I was told than an ABS sensor was malfunctioning due to an ABS flap on the passenger side getting stuck and that it can’t be fixed. They are not constantly on and some days don’t come on at all. Recently, my TPS light has started blinking. I’ve checked pressure, recalibrated, and even checked the spare. What could be the actual cause of all this? Performance of car has not changed at all and still gets 40-ish miles to a gallon. It does have 275,000 miles

When I got the car none of the buttons or horn would work. I replaced the clockspring and that fixed everything for about two months. After that the horn and cruise control stopped working and the airbag light turned on. All buttons work for radio and even cruise control, it just won’t engage. All fuses seem good too. Would I have to replace the airbag?

I have 2009 Honda Accord 4cl. The radio does not light up or work. As well as all interior and door lights. Checked all fuses and bulbs. Only gear shifter has lights. Also door locks not working

My husband and I have spent the last two weeks trying to figure out why our 2000 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 Sedan stopped running and we have been unsuccessful in our efforts. The car began hesitating and losing power when accelerating or going uphill. We thought it was a fuel filter problem, but we learned that the 2000 Accord sedan doesn't have a fuel filter, in the traditional sense; apparently it is built into the fuel pump and is not a serviceable or replaceable part. We had inherited the car with an oil leak, about 1 quart per 20 miles, of course we located and fixed that problem right awa… Read complete

Got a bit of a story.
About 2 months ago I bought a 2017 Honda Accord LX (FWD) with Rebuilt Title & 38K miles. When warm/stopped at a light, the car will make loud grumbling noises and jerk forward. Kept having it looked at until about a month ago a family member took it out and it started leaking heavy fuel. Had the fuel leakage fixed but the Engine problem still persists.
I've had 2 mechanics say they can't figure out why it keeps missfiring, any advice? For any further context, I have the following lights: Check Engine, Electronic Power Steering, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Anti-lock brake System on.

My car front doors wont lock, when the drivers is unlocked the 2 rear doors lock and I'm unlocked with remote, but when the driver's side door is lock my remote key won't unlock the rear doors. Passenger door won't lock nor unlocked with the remote either have to do it manually.

Front passenger airbags deployed without impact on my 2010 honda accord causing passenger injury. Honda verbally agreed to cover all costs then broke the verbal contract which has left me in a financial disaster as i am now having to pay for my monthly car payment as well as payments towards a loan of $14,000. 00 to cover all costs of the airbag incident........ September 2014 i was involved in a automobile accident in which the air bags should have deployed but instead failed.

To: nthsa i had purchased a brand new honda accord in march 2014 and soon after i noticed a rattling noise in the steering wheel. I took it for repair to the dealership and they took me on a test drive to hear the noise and they attempted to fix it without success. The rattling noise is not always present and it comes unpredictably therefore every time i go to the dealership they want me to drive it and replicate the noise which is sometimes not possible. I have recordings of the noise and they would not accept that to fix the car. A representative from honda corporate office had personally… Read complete

Dealer did a recall update of audio system in march 2013 to repair defects in audio system. This update immediately began to interfere with the car's cell phone blue tooth connection causing loss of pairing, loss of speed dials, etc. I have contacted the dealer and honda factory representative repeatedly. The only response i get is they are working on a solution. Spoke to honda engineering several times. They offered two suggestions which did not solve the problem. Recently i spoke to engineering and their suggestion this time concerns me. I was told that shifting the car out of park before th… Read complete

Rear brake pads wore prematurely as per class action suit notification we received in 2010. Upon inspection for routine maintenance (no other signs of a problem occurred) found that the rotors were also ruined and required repair. Honda seems ready to wash their hands of the situation because of the class action settlement and would not pay for rotor replacement, at least that is what the dealer indicated. Total cost of repair was $337. Not happy and the second problem with the vehicle on a critical safety system (front wheel bearings went and were replaced by honda at about 20,000 mi). I'm concerned there will be ongoing critical failures if our experience with this accord is any indication of what is to come. *tr

2009 honda accord airbags didn't deploy with radiator wrapped around engine on a front end crash. The other vehicle was a jeep and was hit in the side and all the airbags were deployed. This was not a minor accident as they are thinking of totaling out the vehicle. My mother in law weighs around 100 pounds, but the airbags should have been deployed. She was taken to the hospital, with chest injuries. *tr
